The quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of three kinds of tofu made from lipoxygenase (LOX)-free genotypes soybeans were compared to the Taekwang (LOX-present) tofu as the control. The mineral contents of Jinyang tofu were significantly higher than those of the control. The hardness and gumminess of tofu made from LOX-free genotypes were significantly higher than those of the control. Gaechuck#2 tofu showed higher sensory evaluation results than the other kinds of tofu in terms of taste, flavor and overall acceptability. The total isoflavone contents were higher in the LOX-free genotypes than in the control. The total phenol content was similar for the Gaechuck#1, #2 and Taekwang tofu. The flavonoid content was higher in Gaechuck#1 and #2 tofu than in the control. The antioxidant activities were the highest in Gaechuck#1 tofu, followed by the Gaechuck#2. During the 15-day storage at $4^{\circ}C$, the turbidity of the immersing water tended to increase, but Gaechuck#1 and #2 tofu were significantly lower than in the control after 15-day storage. Therefore it is suggested that Gaechuck#2 tofu could be the suitable genotype for tofu products because it is the most effective in terms of overall acceptability, antioxidant activity, and storage stability.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of germinated and fermented unmarketable soybean (GFS) on laying performance and egg quality in laying hens. A total of two hundred laying hens were divided into 5 groups (5 treatment $\times$ 4 replication $\times$ 10 birds each) and fed with the experimental diets for 8 wk as follows: control, GFS free; T1, GFS 0.15%; T2, GFS 0.3%; T3, GFS 1%; T4, GFS 2%. The laying performance, egg quality, blood profiles, cecal microbial population, isoflavone content in egg yolk were investigated. There were no significant differences laying performance, relative liver and spleen weights, egg yolk color, eggshell color among groups. Eggshell strength in groups fed with diets containing GFS increased, but not significantly. Eggshell thickness significantly increased in the GFS-supplemented group. No significant differences were observed in the blood profiles and intestinal microflora after supplementation. The decrease of Haugh unit during storage was alleviated by feeding of GFS (p<0.05). The concentrations of malondialdehyde in groups fed with GFS were decreased as compared with control (p<0.05). Isoflavones in the egg yolk were detected in group fed with diet containing 2% GFS. These results showed that unmarketable GFS could be used as a favorable feed additive and feedstuff for production of quality enhanced and isoflavone fortified eggs.

The objective of this study was to analyze the general and functional components of various soybeans, used for producing soy sauce, tofu, bean sprouts, and for cooking with rice. The moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and ash content of soybeans were in the ranges of 5.50~6.16%, 38.49~41.08%, 14.89~21.89%, and 4.89~5.86%, respectively. Mineral and functional components varied by sample and showed no relationship with usage type. Somyeong for bean sprouts had the highest level of Ca (406.36 mg/100 g), and Sinpaldal for soy sauce and tofu had the highest level of Mg (247.79 mg/100 g). However, Jinpum No. 2 for soy sauce and tofu had the lowest level of Ca (199.51 mg/100 g), and Seonhuk had the lowest level of Mg (90.03 mg/100 g) among the soybeans tested. The isoflavone content in soybeans was in the range of 97.54~402.00 mg/100 g. Somyeong for bean sprouts had the highest level and Seonheuk for cooking with rice had the lowest level. Total oligosaccharides were in the range of $5,838.52{\sim}9,345.90{\mu}g/100g$. Sucrose content was approximately 50% of total oligosaccharides in all samples. Raffinose content was $516.28{\sim}806.95{\mu}g/100g$, and stachyose content was $2,047.13{\sim}3,454.10{\mu}g/100g$. Phytosterols including bracassisterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and ${\beta}$-sitosterol ranged from 19.25~35.34 mg/100 g. ${\beta}$-sitosterol represented 50% of total phytosterols in almost all samples, followed by campesterol, stigmasterol and bracassisterol. The phytic acid content in soybeans tested was around 2%, except for Sinpaldal No. 2 and Jinpum No. 2 at 0.86% and 1.65%, respectively. The dietary fiber of soybeans was in the ranges of 24.20%~29.20%.

To evaluate processing suitability of lipoxygenase (LOX)-free genotype soybeans (Jinyang, 05C4 and LS), quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of their Doenjang products were compared to those of Doenjang made from Taekwang soybean (LOX-present) as the control. Moisture and crude protein contents of Doenjang were significantly higher in LS than the control. Crude lipid content was not significantly different and was in the range of 7.92~8.22% in all samples. Carbohydrate content was significantly lower in LS than Taekwang. Content of reducing sugar in Doenjang was significantly higher in Jinyang than Taekwang. Contents of amino-type nitrogen were significantly higher in LOX-free cultivars than Taekwang. Colors of 05C4 and LS Doenjang were not different compared to that of Taekwang, whereas Jinyang Doenjang showed a noticeable color difference. Taekwang Doenjang had a slightly stronger savory taste than another sample. LOX-free cultivars had a strong salty taste. Flavor was the strongest in LS, whereas overall acceptability showed little difference among all samples. The total amino acid content was slightly higher in Jinyang and 05C4 than Taekwang, and content of essential amino acids was higher in Doenjang from LOX-free cultivars than Taekwang. Isoflavon content was significantly higher in Doenjang ($522.16{\sim}684.46{\mu}g/g$) made from LOX-free cultivars than in Taekwang ($374.79{\mu}g/g$). Total phenol content was significantly higher in 05C4 and LS, and flavonoid content was significantly higher in LS than Taekwang. Antioxidant activities were highest in Jinyang based on DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power. ABTS radical scavenging activity was significantly higher in Doenjang made from LOX-free cultivars than Taekwang. These results suggest that Doenjang from LOX-free cultivars could have a suitable genotype for Doenjang processing since it is more effective in terms of amino acids, isoflavone contents, and antioxidant activity.

Considerable beneficial effects on osteoporosis from soy intake in postmenopausal women are being reported (Murkies et al.1998, Arjmandi et al. 1996). Isoflavones(IF), one of phytoestrogenic substances in the soybean, have been suggested for the effect. Our preliminary study showed that even the young chicks fed IF-rich diet tended to have higher bone ash content than those fed IF-poor diet. IF have been reported to decrease bone ash content than those fed IF-poor diet, IF have been reported to decrease bone loss by reducing bone resorption. Soybean meal has been one of the most important protein sources in poultry diets. We assume that the IF intake through dietary soybean meal could give meaningful influences on the birds. This study was carried out to determine effects of dietary IF from soybean sources on bone development in young chicks. Soy protein concentrate (SPC, IF-poor)and an IF concentrate(Phyto-Nutramin) were formulated together with purified-type ingredients to provide three different levels(25, 240 and 480 mg/kg) of total IF. Control diet(240 mg/kg) was prepared with isolated soyprotein(ISP, IF-rich). The diets were fed to 96, 3-day old, layer-type, male chicks, divided into 4 treatments with 3 replications for 3 weeks. Chicks fed the ISP diet had better gain/feed ratios than fed the SPC diets. Birds fed the diets with higher levels of IF tended to show higher values in serum total and ionized Ca% and tibial bone density, length % ash, stiffness and strain. This trend however, appeared less significant at the end of third week. No noticeable differences in sizes of comb and testicle and serum alkaline phosphatase activities were observed among the dietary groups. These results suggest that dietary isoflavones from soybean sources could be associated with chemical composition and physical properties of bone in sizes of comb and testicle and serum alkaline phosphatase activities were observed among the dietary groups. These results suggest that dietary isoflavones from soybean sources could be associated with chemical composition and physical properties of bone in young chicks.

The properties of non-GM soybeans with lipoxygenase (LOX) free genotypes, such as Gaechuck#1 (black, LOX2,3-free), Gaechuck#2 (yellow, LOX2,3-free) and Jinyangkong (yellow, LOX1,2,3-free), were compared to Taekwangkong (yellow, LOX1,2,3-present) as control. Length and weight of soybeans were significantly longer in Gaechuck#1, but LOX free genotypes of yellow beans was smaller than Taekwangkong, in terms the size and weight. After soaking for 12 hr, increased ratios of soybean weight were 217.07~226.55%, and they were significantly higher in Gaechuck#2. The total color difference (${\Delta}E$) to Taekwangkong was the highest in Gaechuck#1, but another yellow soybean were similar. Crude lipids content was significantly higher in Taekwangkong (17.30%), and these LOX free genotypes (13.71~14.66%) did not show significant difference. Crude protein contents were significantly higher in Gaechuck#1 (34.79%) compared to the other soybeans (32.93~33.47%). Contents of glutamic acid among the detected composition amino acid were highest, and its total contents were highest in Gaechuck#1 (32.42 g/100 g), and the total content of Gaechuck#2 was similar to Taekwangkong. Contents of total isoflavone were higher in LOX free genotypes than Taekwangkong, especially significantly higher in Gaechuck#1 (1672.54 ${\mu}g/g$). Contents of total phenol were highest in Gaechuck#1 (276.91 mg/100 g), and flavonoids content of Gaechuck#1 (26.93 mg/100 g) was 2.6~2.8 times higher than the other samples. DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activities and reducing power were significantly higher in Gaechuck#1. The yield of soybean curd from tested samples was the highest in Gaechuck#2. Gaechuck#2 as LOX free genotypes was similar to Taekwangkong with regard to physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities. Therefore, we propose that Gaechuck#2 is a more suitable genotype for soybean curd products.

This study was designed to investigate changes in germination characteristics and color as well as the content of isoflavones of Eunhakong germinated under dark conditions. The wet weight of Enhakong was increased as germination progressed. It reached $299.7{\pm}15.0%$ at 60 h after the beginning of sprouting. The relative dry weight was consistently decreased as germination progressed, and it reached $65.8{\pm}8.2%$ at 60 h after the beginning of sprouting. The length of sprout was rapidly increased at the latter stage compared to the beginning of germination. Most soybean seeds were successfully germinated at 60 h after beginning of sprouting. The L value was considerably increased at the early stage of germination and it reached $63.4{\pm}0.7$ at 60 h. The a value was rapidly increased at the beginning of germination and decreased thereafter. The b value was increased at the beginning of germination and did not changed thereafter. It was confirmed that the total isoflavone content, in which the m-genistin was highest followed by daidzin, and than slightly decreased.

Bioconversion of aglycone-formed isoflavones from glycoside-formed isoflavones by commercial lactic acid bacteria in fermented soybean paste was evaluated. Enterococcus faecium KCTC 13410 showed the most resistant capacity and Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC 3925 had a sensitive susceptibility at a high NaCl concentration (13.2%) in fermented soybean paste. Among the 5 strains tested, Lac. acidophilus KCTC 3925 showed the highest relative ratio of aglycone-formed isoflavones to total isoflavones in fermented soybean paste. Production of exopolysaccarides (EPS) by lactic acid bacteria was compared using de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe medium containing 1% sucrose at $37^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. Among the 5 lactic acid bacteria, Lac. acidophilus KCTC 3925 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus KCTC 3929 were investigated to produce EPS. Based on the results concerning growing susceptibility and conversion of aglycone-formed isoflavones/EPS production, it is anticipated that Lac. acidophilus KCTC 3925 may be used for preparation of Cheonggukjang, which contains relative low NaCl content.
